UNBELIEVABLE SHOCKING - I didn't know Coke was that bad for you - No No haha couldn't resist

- It is so UNBELIEVABLE that it makes me wonder if it is really Coke who put this together. If so give them credit.
Perhaps they are using reverse phycology with the expectation that this approach will encourage the subject of the persuasion to do what actually is desired, the opposite of what is suggested.

Soroush,

It's a great site and great video and it should go viral - but at the top it clearly says:

"Truth in advertising may be off the table, but at least truth in fake advertising is alive and well."

Just in case anyone thinks it's really Coca Cola saying this It's a spoof of the real Coca Cola ad that spins every piece of fact into fiction to bury the dangers of their products.

Bob,

Only in our dreams unfortunately. It's a spoof on the ads that coke do run where they claim to be helping the obesity problem by producing products with zero calories and etc!

It does hone in on the real issue though - it's a really good video.

I can't see that Coke would do this. The implications of admitting it is enormous.
What about Pepsi: is it the same thing? Or different companies?

I have been enjoying Upworthy’s articles/videos lately.
They have a great sense of humor with their economics and politics.
Just watched this Coke video followed by a great one on immigrants
by a woman named Holly Nash.
Would it only be true about the coke video, but it should be spread
round. It will do more than all our expounding on health.
